Question

I need help with writing this latter

Berkeley has come across some money! President Smith has decided he would like to involve students in the process of making the decision what to do with this money!

B) A full-time daycare available to day, night and weekend students in the 41st street building that would allow students with children to drop them off free of cost while they are attending classes at Berkeley.

In the first paragraph, establish ETHOS – why should he listen to you? What

“expertise” and experience do you bring to this discussion? Do you have any

“credentials” that might make him sit up and read more carefully? Do you share any

“connections” with him that might make him feel “connected” with you? Do your best to

establish ETHOS and then, after you’ve done so, supply your THESIS in the final

sentence of the paragraph where you tell him what argument you’re making – what do

you think he should do with the money? (This is like an “intro paragraph,” you “hook”

him with your establishment of credibility, and then provide your “thesis”).

In the second paragraph, support your thesis by making two developed arguments in

support of it – one using LOGOS (logic, such as an “if...then” logical argument), and

one using PATHOS (emotional manipulation). TEST and DRAPES still apply here –

Start with an overall argument sentence that sets up the two arguments you’re going to

make, then make them – you can bring in personal experience, external evidence,

statistics, make rhetorical questions, create analogies, etc. Just try to “win him over,”

assuming that his choice regarding the money isn’t yours!

Then, in a final paragraph, you must make a COUNTERARGUMENT. This means you

must respectfully bring up what you have determined is the BEST argument for the

OTHER side – and then show how that argument is faulty or incorrect or is correct but

still not as good as your arguments. (By doing this, you continue to establish credibility

by showing you’ve thought about both sides of the argument, and you’ve taken “a bullet

out of the opposition’s gun” by bringing up their argument before they could!)

Answer 1

The provision of day care in Children's Centres is considered to be one of the key delivery mechanisms to achieve outcomes for children as set out in the Every Child Matters Agenda (DfES, 2003). The outcomes include, being healthy, staying safe, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution and economic well-being. The aim is to improve outcomes for all young children and in particular close the gap between the most disadvantaged and others. It is the intention that outcomes for children will be improved by increasing high quality integrated childcare and early learning. Although the need to obtain children's views on services is recognised in government policy and guidance for Children's Centres, research and practice suggests that this has not taken place for day care. Absent in the research has been an investigation of changes and improvements in day care based on listening to the children. This small scale qualitative research investigated how young children were experiencing and enjoying their day care in Children's Centres and how this could be improved through listening to them. The questions that were addressed were; How are children experiencing day care in Children's Centres? What is it about their day care experiences that children enjoy? How can we 'make it better' for children in day care? Six young children receiving full-time day care in two nurseries based in Children's Centres were selected. Tools, including a full day observation, interview, tours, use of cameras and role play were developed to listen to each child. An ethnographic approach to data gathering was employed to gain insights from the children's perspectives and to enable them to take a lead in showing how they were experiencing and enjoying their day care. Findings were obtained through an instrumental case study design employing multiple methods, triangulation and an inductive methodological and analytical approach. The critical realist epistemological approach underpinning the research permitted consideration of how important aspects of day care could be improved and constructed based on a unified voice of the children. Main findings and the contribution of this research were as follows; • Relationships with carers and other children had high importance to these children in day care. • A significant finding was the children's enjoyment and choice of a wide range of play and early learning activities in the nurseries. • There were shortcomings in the day care of older children relating to the availability of key adults and their interactions with adults. • There may be assumptions underlying day care practices that are based on the needs of nurseries not children. • Children may have needs related to attachment with key adults and children in day care settings. Implications of findings for the development of day care practices, research and the contribution of educational psychology are discussed in context of the literature. The contribution of the research to the development of tools, methodologies and inductive approaches to listen to young children is highlighted. The psychological need for children's attachments with adults and children within day care settings is uniquely raised. Implications for extension of attachment theory and the development of relationships in day care contexts are explored.

Research has shown that children learn more in the first five years than at any other time in their lives. We will:

1. establish strong links with parents/carers, involving them in their children's progress and the ways in which they learn, recognising the crucial role of parental involvement in their child's education.

2. ensure that the transition from home/other nursery settings to this nursery and later from Nursery on to Reception Class is a happy time.

3. value and promote the diversity of race, culture, beliefs and faiths which the children and their families bring.

4. provide high quality teaching and learning experiences which will enable every child to become a happy and confident learner, recognising that each child will develop at their own pace and in their own way physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.
